i hate to be "that guy', but your whining is too much. if you have experience writing code, and think you can fix the call audio bug, start from scratch like he did. you have the same tools that he did when he first started the build. otherwise, gtfo.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

they dont, theyre just impatient and since there hasnt been an update everyone assumes the worst. the guy has a family, 6 kids. he has other things hes doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
your in the wrong forum and should listen to mike and gtfo because the way things seem to be done here is not open source.

Its all about working on your own and duplicating others efforts so that you could get rep and donations. The actual development part is just a byproduct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
I respect your stance on this, I really do. And I cant say that I dont agree with it either. But the "openness" of the CM devs with alpha releases has led to a ****storm of people complaining about broken stuff in builds they didnt even compile.

For people to say slayher is only in it for the money is ridiculous. When he posted the first root method for this phone, do you think he was thinking about donations? When he was killing himself figuring out the RIL on the Thunderbolt for LTE, do you think all he was thinking about is donations?

When he is ready, he will share his source. With you and anyone else that wants to take a look at it. You said you dont wanna start from scratch, figure out the sound issue, then have someone "steal" your work. How do you think he feels? Hes pretty much hammered a 99% complete build out, why would he want to let someone else do the last 1% when hes perfectly capable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tweezydak1d:
I don't understand why people are complaining. This is the only cm build that we have. If you have a problem then build ur own aosp build from source. Its been said before the cm team doesn't release alpha code and for good reason. Miui doesn't release their code, who's complaining. At least we have an aosp/cm Rom. Anybody complaining about slayher releasing his source show us your source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
Oh please. I heard the same argument with the Triumph. Guess what - it was BS then and is now.

How do I think he feels? I can't get in someone else's head and therefore I don't care. But what I do know is this: The argument that this somehow comes down to CM7 being "blamed" for bugs is utter and complete crap. Software has bugs - period. The more people who can look at it and work on it the faster bugs get squashed and the product of that process improves the quality for everyone. This is why open source works as a general model; if it didn't there wouldn't be any.

I can see from your "explanation" that faster progress and a better ROM isn't the goal here -- rather, it's ego. "I did it" is the meme instead of "it works now let's all enjoy it."

As a result I'll put my effort where it will be appreciated, which clearly isn't here. Thank you for making it crystal-clear that this is the case.

As for this "Alpha shouldn't be available" that's crap too. I had Github open from the first alpha for the Triumph and every single revision was tracked and explained. Go over to androidforums and have a look - the thread is still there and it's all documented. The repo is still there on Github and you can pull the manifest and build it if you want -- that was possible from the beginning and still is, with all warts. It produced a better piece of code faster than it would have were I to have worked "in private" as there were other eyeballs looking at it and attempting fixes.

We

all

benefited from that process.

Perhaps many here think the Pavlovian model of salivating over someone else doling out fixes and progress is a good thing. If I didn't know how to code and debug I might think so too, as it beats the carrier model of "take this and shut up" for good or bad.

But I do know how to code and as a result I'm not willing to be someone else's test monkey since I'm quite able to do more and better. When I see a problem I want to instrument the hell out of the code and then go chase it, but to do that I need source access. No source, no interest in trying to help fix things as I'm not going to be someone's dog playing "fetch."

Perhaps I am not the one who would ultimately find the solution to the remaining problems just as I was not in all cases for the Triumph, but that doesn't matter at all. The fact is that the more eyeballs and minds working on the problem the faster the problems will get resolved. If the model was truly let's figure this out then the bug tracker would be up on Github too so that everyone could not only see the repo and code but everyone could see the logs that are being submitted and work against the common reports. That's how we did it on the Triumph and it works.

In the end your goal is either faster progress and better code or it's something else.

I'll work toward the first, but not the "something else."

If and when the manfest/repo is open I'll be happy to work on it and see what I can come up with.

That's all.

You guys have fun now.... I'll just hang around and wait until I can actually do something useful, which will happen when the source is available.

I don't understand why people are arguing about something that doesn't happen yet, and honestly I don't think it's going to happen. I really believe that Slayher is going to continue his amazing work on this ROM. I can't believe that a comment about him getting a GALAXY NEXUS as a gift unleash all this bad comments and hysteria. I'm happy for him and I know that he will still working on this ROM until is ready for nightlys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
+1 for Genesis 3 post. Why work alone when you can work together to get it done. He's already stated and proven he can do the work so why not open it to him. Its not like he's a noob, trying to use source to learn from. The thing about people complaining about bugs is that people will complain. You can't please everyone. If you say that he is busy and has a family and all, why should we not ask for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
Yeah. Chill. We don't know what is going to happen yet. Let's just wait and see. They are working on this through donation so they have no obligation to do it. You can always go back to the stock rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goonx:
Good on genesis' stance but we're over reacting a bit.

Slayher hasnt said anything about the situation yet so let's just all take a chill pill.

I think this flame war was in part with asking people for donations so that slayher can continue. SLAYHER NOR THR CM TEAM has asked for any! It was another forum member's words.

Donate if you want and when you want. If you like what you see now, donate. If you want to wait for a complete cm7 before donating, donate then. If you don't want to donate then thats fine too. Appreciation comes in may non-monetary ways too.

They are donations and no one on the cm team said anything. Im pretty sure they work on a voluntary basis. Other members, please do not tell ppl to donate in order for "this and that" to be completed. Thats not the spirit of donations. Thats called paid labour. The worst part is when ppl are "donating" under those misconceptions and keeps whining about why its not done yet...

Cm doesnt relese alpha builds. Thats their philosophy and we should respect that.

So just flash your kernel (v 0.08) over this cm7 and should be good?

Well said.

How did you change the VM to 76m? The highest available option I see is 64m.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
Maybe put the synergy kernel on first? idk.. trying it now....

Update: Guess it's not the 0.08 one. That just froze at the boot screen. Trying the v0.03.1 Alpha version....

Update 2: The V0.03.1 worked. No 76 m, though. Maybe they did it through adb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
The v0.08 is NOT CM7 BASED. It will NEVER work on cm7. You have to use the alpha CM7 kernel.

Dumb question: Can you set Titanium to automatically restore the apps without requesting to install each one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
If you have the premium titanium backup yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lazy361:
I know in the pro version you can, that's what I do. Under batch, restore, then it will prompt you to either do just apps, or apps with data. (I heard you should never do the apps with data as things are saved a certain way on different roms) you can even pick and choose with check marks what apps.... Then let her rip.

Ok. Put on the Synergy kernel. Can't really report anything yet. Does seem a bit more sluggish than the one in Sefl-Kang #2.

Update 2: Seems Titanium restored restored my SetCPU values to my underclocking settings of 1.2 ghz. That might explain the slugishness.

Question: Does DSP Manager.apk actually improve the sound? I don't see any difference with or without it. Sound seems the same.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
Well, bad news... the synergey kernel doesn't help with the call sound bug. It just died on my phone on the second call. :( Not sure it was meant to, though. The gps reboot is not restoring it either. Tried 4 times now. grrrr

Update: Rebooted 10 times now with gps on.. no joy on getting sound back. ugh. Reflashing with no synergy .... weird bug!

I'm honestly halfway hoping that the cm team says screw cm7 let's get cm9 going on the skyrocket lol, an alpha cm9 build running even close to as well a this ROM would blow my mind at this point, the inspire 4g has a pretty much perfect aosp ics ROM that has 2d&3d hw acc enabled through some hacks now and I'm coming from that ROM back to cm7 on this skyrocket and I have to say cm7 gas more features than ics, and this phone KILLS the inspire, but ics made the experience amazing, I can't wait for the next gen of cm, I think its going to be insane

Haven't had any problems with GPS or calls, however my Wifi constantly just stops working and doesn't let me connect to any network. Sometimes it just starts working again out of nowhere, usually it doesn't though.

And to all that assholes complaining in this thread, this ROM is flashable by your OWN DISGRESSION! No one forced to to flash it. Secondly, this ROM works just fine, I've been running it since release #1 as my main ROM, problem free for the most part (except the wifi bug, but that doesn't make me limit my phone use). Thirdly, I'm pretty sure that the title says ALPHA, not 100% WORKING EVERYONE FLASH THIS AND IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS ITS ALL MY FAULT. The build clearly is not "ready" for release and in testing stages.

You all need to respect Slayher because last time I checked you all don't pay his salary. Until you do, I suggest you quit complaining and do the work yourself if you have a problem with it. You people on XDA are just the rudest individuals I have ever seen. No wonder so many devs leave this site. You guys are just disgusting parasites that feed on other peoples work, having no respect for it.

anyone having issues viewing internal storage? for some reason i can only view my external sd card... its weird...i also cannot connect usb storage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
I had this issue as well. I had to backup and reformat both my external sd card and internal memory. I also made sure to delete my ext2/3/4 partition from my sd card. After all this, I reflashed #2. It works ok now. The external-sd link I used to see when exploring files vanished. I wouldn't back up any apps. Install them fresh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
What I did to view/use my external and internal sds is this:

After signing in to Google I went to cyanogenmod settings/applications and checked "Use Internal Storage" then rebooted (of course making sure that gps was enabled to preserve in-call audio).

When I booted back up in too explorer "sdcard" became the internal storage and "emmc" became my external sdcard this of course made the "sdcard/external_sd" path no longer valid. This however did not adversely affect anything on my device besides making the sdcard/external_sd path invalid which is a non-issue since the "emmc" path takes me there.

Hope that helped and/or was relevant at least. :D
